Man, I'm ..... getting fed up with the bots. Especially in the cave in 98++ mobs. There is only few rooms you can grind and these rooms are filled with bots 24/7.

It's almost impossible to grind at a fast pace because of these botters. Geez, isn't it simple to just go to cave and check who is botting and BAN?... I mean seriously.. there are SOOO many bots that the population in the cave is like 80% bots and 20% legit.

I have been 98 for a week. Can't be bothered to grind when I see so many botters everywhere. There are more bots in ZSZC than in iSRO, and that is saying something. I feel the poor mobs, getting ganked time after time by 4 botters at the same time.

I just hope eSRO comes out soon and it doesn't end up like this shithole.

it's SRO what are you thinking?

You said there was 20% legits, 80% bots. That's like 19.99% better then isro. -_-

Aw man you're lvl 98 and mad cause you can't lvl.

It's not even that bad, there were like 3 people at 98 mobs today and non of them were botting.

Just keep going dude your almost capped
try looking for less crowded rooms or search for a few lesser known rooms in the caves.

lies, you're teling them

yeah.. i don't think that two zszc servers can hold 135,563 players

on topic, i don't understand botting with ridiculous rates like zszc have. iv played few hours in three days and im lvl50.

I dont understand either why people use bots cuz its already rly easy to lv with such high rates

+1 30x really makes grinding fun, but the bots really take the fun out of it, sucks being a glaiver and being ksed by all the ranged int characters who arent at the computer. . .

Although sometimes I spend my hour or two on the game a day just picking up drops from bots when I just get fed up from trying to outgrind the bots...

I mean the bots are not just at the lvl 98 places. . .they're fuckin everywhere.

gms need to step up, screw the events, just log on, roll up in each grinding area, and use the ban button with extreme prejudice, hell even stop processing orders untill the bots get all banned.

Do that everyday for two weeks and watch the bots dissolve.

There is no dam sro version that cant be cracked for bot...-.-

I feel ya.
I stopped playing ZSZC because of the massive amount of bots, once you're out in takla at worms or karra it becomes near impossible to level with nothing but ksing nukers and turk plvlers.
And yeah, every SRO version can and will be cracked for a bot, eSRO will have many people trying to bot, eSRO will be the only server I know of with REAL anti-cheat I know of though.

I think the problem is that when the bots get banned, they'll just create a new account and in a few days they'll be 100 again.

The GM's are doing a great job banning quite a lot of bots everyday and yet there are SO many left. Probably due to the reason mentioned above.

well they could just ip ban turkey Romania Poland lol(im just joking of course. . .well maybe not for Turkey) ;p

But yeah the Gms really just need to focus on banning bots when they log on, screw events make the server playable first.

I swear like out of the 100s of players I saw like 3 that were NOT bots...

damn not even ecsro had this many bots!

worms and karras are full of bots, took me 3 days to pass 58-68
but black eagles dont have bots, they got normal players who hunt giants like uniques >.<

they should hire more GMs

course i`m saying this to be a GM

I know, it sucks.
I think if ZSZC were to have somebody develop an anti-cheat system they could keep many of the bots out if they kept it updated.
They should also limit their accounts per IP, 2 per IP.
If they do that and a user gets banned he will have 1 account to go to, after that he's screwed unless he wants to use a proxy every time he plays.
Seeing as how botters are lazy they would probably just move to another SRO.

problem.......... most peoples ip changes. example mine changes every night

It's so damm easy to spot a bot. You can literally go to cave and ban at least 20 botters there.

Like someone else mentioned... they should stop doing the events and ban these botters.

except its coming soon.

honestly, not going on the its coming soon bandwagon ...
but why is it that with any thread/topic in a thread with a negative statement about a private server, or even isro sometimes, you esro people use it as yet another advertising opportunity. its nice that you have had these great plans (for 2 years and counting) but can you and your team stop using ur pathetic advertising ploys with every post about another server? it doesnt look good at all on your part, and it would look especially bad if you start seeing botters on your server who crack ur "anti-cheat".

kthx and tl;dr.. stop making esro look bad in advance, because the shit will hit the fan if you dont live up to your word

^that

+ I hear it's very fake and gay...

I think the problem is that the botters on ZSZC thinks that the server is like ISRO where you can bot and not get banned.

The GM should put a warning page before being able to register so that everyone who registers must read the warning. If they break the rules, they'll get banned. I don't care if they keep remaking newer ones. Just keep on banning and banning. Soon they'll either realize they're wasting time and stop or just quit.

Should implement something like the anti-bot system rohan used. Every player gets a skill or an item which can be used on players, when used on someone a small window pops up for that person with a question or something that needs to be answered and if he doesnt answer it he gets banned or reported or whatever.

Would solve alot of the problems.

But that skill should be used only on people in combat mode, else it can be abused. It should have long cooldown and limit the number of that skill that can be used on one target per minute.
=> Too hard to be implemented.

no dumbass, ifs gay and fake. get it right.

Why would it be to hard?

Just make it so that theres a limit so you cant be tested more than once every 30 min. Would it really be that hard?

And ofcourse like you said the person has to be in combat mode.

How about the GMs quit wasting time doing stupid events and go around caves and stuff and start banning kids.

Don't know about others. But I quit iSRO during the 80 cap and have to say, there are more bots on ZSZC than there were on Oasis and Aege. Sorry, that's what I've experienced so far, this is far worse than the botting I had to deal with back then.

this is not true.

No this is true. When I was on Oasis I could ALWAYS find a grind spot, whether it took a while to get there or not.

Here on ZSZC I can't go 30 seconds before I get KSed by 2-3 bots. It's the worse I've seen, and ridiculous.

eSRO can't arrive fast enough.
